Nature’s Comfort

I walk alongside My River
In dawn’s early light,
The clear water shrouded in mist.
The green grass at her side
Whitened with frost.
Nature’s beauty and wonder
Showing me how wonderful it is.

The sun shines through the mist
Bringing Nature’s art into my eyes,
The trees and landscape unfocussed
As the light comes through to me,
Through the mist highlighting this wondrous time,
A time unique in life but caught in my mind.

As I walk on the mist clears.
My River now in focus,
It’s clear green waters are back with me,
Enjoying Natures comfort,
As I walk along my path of life.

All is Well

I walk beside My river,

The slow deep green of its water

Flows by my side in harmony,

In harmony with my thoughts.

Those thoughts get deeper

The further I walk into the countryside,

Until I am lost in a world of nature,

Where all is well

And the troubles in my life disappear.

A swan sails by my side

His eyes looking at me,

Understanding my thinking.

We move together,

Our minds locked in natures wonder.

He leaves me and slides calmly off

Into his world,

Leaving me with mine.

My River flows ahead of me,

My Spirit flowing with it.

I know that My River

And My Spirit

Will go on to eternity.

So, in spite of my troubles,

I know that all is well,

All is well in My World.

The Beckoning.

I reach the middle of the bridge and look down,

There flowing beneath me is My River.

Such a long time since I have walked

Along its beautiful side.

My life has changed,

Free time is sparse,

The love of my life is struggling,

I have to be with her and always will be,

The vow in sickness and in health was sworn

And is so meaningful,

Even more so now.

As I look at My River I remember,

Remember those times

When I was with it every morning.

Those beautiful times,

When nature spoke to me

And My Spirit joined me.

We walked together in awe,

In awe of the life that I had.

The glory of art,

The beauty of words,

The wonder of music,

They are all about me

As nature comforts me

Even in my troubled times.

I will return to My River

And will walk by it once more,

Walk once more with My Spirit,

As eternity beckons me

Towards my Eternal Life.
